Narrative:
While flying the VUCAN2 arrival into cyyc in navigation mode; we were given a vector by approach control and told that we were flying an incorrect track. The nav track in the FMGC did not match the published approach procedure. We entered the correct arrival and approach for runway 16. The track from the FMGC was incorrect.
